Notes:
- High staff turnover is often attributed to burnout or exhaustion, especially in ministry work.
- Staff should be trained well so that they are equipped to handle the many needs of residents.
- Cross-training staff can help each staff member to take time off regularly.
- Find a housing model that works well for both residents and staff.
- Retreats and conference get your team outside of their typical day-to-day work and allows for time of fellowship and sharing of ideas.
